OK, Denver Broncos fans, welcome to our training camp Broncos trivia edition. It’s not easy. If you correctly answer just four of the nine questions, you deserve a seat at the foot of the Barrel Man’s statue outside Broncos Stadium at Mile High.

2. This player had the second-worst contract holdout in Broncos history.

3. It was unquestionably the greatest Broncos draft that never was. It featured arguably the greatest fourth round in NFL history. What year was the draft and, in order, name the players the Broncos selected in that fourth round.

4. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has documented 236 sets of fathers and sons who played in the NFL. Only one such duo each played for the Broncos. Who were they?

5. Broncos trivia buffs know it was Jeremiah Castille who caused “The Fumble” against Earnest Byner in the AFC Championship Game. But who recovered “The Fumble?”

6. This quarterback threw the most postseason passes without an interception in Broncos history.

7. The first Broncos running back to rush for 100 yards by halftime was Floyd Little in a 1970 game at San Francisco. “The Franchise” had 117 yards on nine carries by intermission. Who was the second Broncos player to rush for 100 yards by half?

8. Former Broncos safety Brian Dawkins is getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this weekend. He becomes the third Hall of Famer who played for the Broncos but is mostly associated with another team. Who are the other two?

9. Norris Weese was a great Bronco who served dutifully as a backup quarterback during the Orange Crush years. He died way too young from cancer, but in the days before he passed, he set up this former Broncos teammate with his future wife. Who was the teammate?
